5. Erma. Things have finally become 'worse' enough.

“We've got a generation now who were born with semiequality. They don't know how it was before, so they think, this isn't too bad. We're working. We have our attaché cases and our three-piece suits. I get very disgusted with the younger generation of women. We had a torch to pass, and they are just sitting there. They don't realize it can be taken away. Things are going to have to get worse before they join in fighting the battle.” ~Erma Bombeck (1927-1996), author

Old sig-line of mine; the above quote with "Is it worse enough yet?"

It had to be this blatant for people to see it.

I have the taste of ashes in my mouth.

8. I could never understand the willingness to cede constant vigilance.

I do believe that the unrelenting attack against birth control and family planning has successfully kept the focus off of issues promoting poor and working class women's independence... welfare rights, guaranteed incomes, and mothers' incomes. Those things that could offer women genuine independence.
